".. gifted and decisive " The Strad


"…The Adagio brought a sweet-toned, cool-headed expressiveness to the fore – and the concluding Allegro gained from both women's spirited vigour.( Bach Sonata in C minor)The highlight of the evening was the 'Kreutzer' Sonata. Barton and Dinnerstein were now in their stride, magnificently and indestructibly. In this most powerful of performances, their strong, exuberant pulse drove ahead with exhilarating thrust and bold, brash gaiety. Beethoven was present – dynamically so – at the height of his powers, at the peak of his energy. He was extrovert, direct and absolutely stunning… it constitutes a brilliant virtuoso declaration of buoyant emotions
Schubert's Fantasy was a delight…In the loose, ensuing display, Barton engaged compellingly in promoting Schubert's honeyed and autumnal phrases: his last work for violin and piano. This performance drew me warmly into the sturdy solidity of Schubert's genius."
